likewise-open-gui needs a better menu item name

Bug Description

Binary package hint: likewise-open

likewise-open-gui installs a System -> Administration -> Likewise menu item. This is meaningless unless you already know what it is. The menu item name should include something about the software's function as well as its name.

Selecting "Likewise" currently brings up a window where :
- the window title is "Likewise AD Settings".
- inside the window there is a large "Active Directory Membership" header

We should probably choose one of those. Personally I'd find "Active Directory Membership" more in line with what is usually found in "Administration". However if we want (for whatever reason) to keep the software name in the menu item name, then we should use "Likewise AD Settings".

After discussing it with pitti, we'll go for "Active Directory Membership" (applets in Administration usually reflect purpose rather than software name).

We also agreed that the features of likewise-open-gui should probably migrate into network-manager in Intrepid+n, but that's a part of a future spec targeting better AD integration of the desktop in general (GDM, network-manager, etc.)
